More than 400 looters arrested in New York City, New York, riots this week will be immediately freed from jail thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D-NY) “bail reform” policy that eliminated bail for many nonviolent and violent crimes.
As riots rage on in New York City — and Mayor Bill de Blasio has refused to deploy the U.S. National Guard — hundreds of looters arrested for burglarizing shops and stores are set to be immediately freed back onto the streets.
The New York Times noted that more than 400 people in New York City have been arrested for looting commercial businesses. Almost all of them will likely be released from jail immediately after their arraignments in court.
Cuomo’s bail reform law, implemented at the beginning of the year, eliminated bail for a number of nonviolent and violent crimes — including for suspects accused of second-degree manslaughter, aggravated vehicular assault, third-degree assault, promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, criminally negligent homicide, aggravated vehicular homicide, and about 100 other crimes.
Those arrested for looting are likely to be charged with 3rd-degree burglary of a commercial building, a class D felony that no longer requires the suspect to pay any bail to be released from police custody.

Insanity
The “bail reform” policy was in preparation of the rioting. It was going to happen one way or another.
NOT a joke?
Let it burn.
The voters need to learn a hard lesson.
Same as the governor telling the fire cheif to stand down. The city burns. Then he can get rich siphoning off federal emergency relief funds.
You wont give me a Federal bailout, we will see about that...
The Democrats are for illegals, people who break the law, and prisoners not the American citizen.
Oh how the officers who arrested them must appreciate ricking
their lives to take them into custody.
Dear Mr. President,

With this mindset Sir, America is finished. The entire country will eventually look like Detroit.

Just turn them over to me. All I need is my rubber glove.
Catch and release should be used with fish not criminals.
I expect a mass exodus from NYC in both people and business.
those wi any brains anyway
Did the democrats who put that “ no bail” law in place know this rioting was going to happen? What a coincidence if they didn’t!
The people of New York knew what they wanted, and deserve to get it good and hard.
No Law,and DISorder.
No wonder taxpayers continue to vote with their feet, eh?
